Woe to the multitude of many people who make a noise like the roar of the seas, and to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! (Isaiah 17:12).

Driving Fast But Aimlessly

It is said that Huxley was once on his way to a meeting of the British Association in Dublin but arrived late at the station. Hurriedly he jumped into a jaunting car and ordered the coachman: “Drive fast!”

Away went the cab, jolting over the streets. At length Huxley inquired of the driver, “Do you know where you are going?” He answered with a grin, “No, I don’t know where we are going, but I’m driving very fast.” That’s a pretty good picture of modern man.

One of the marchers in Coxey’s army as it moved on Washington tried to explain his mission by saying, “We don’t know what we want, but we want it mighty bad, and we want it mighty quick.”
